WORK AROUND FOR FIREWALL

[GOVTECH]

Need some help here guys and girls... The firewall we have is supported by that home office and we have no control over it. We are trying to do streaming video but the firewall is forbidding access to the site. I've heard of a tunneling but does anyone have any other suggestions on how to bypass the firewall from the inside?

What is the streaming video of - how about a secure off-site location?

It's a Telemedicine conference. (very boring stuff!) There is only one site we can pick up this feed from.

I do appologise - you are trying to ACCESS a site that your firewall is preventing - correct? Not much you can do , except call the company that maintains it and have them allow that site.

Videoconferencing and firewalls do not mix very well at all. In order to get videoconferencing working in our company, we had to assign an external static IP to the workstation with NAT, and bypass the firewall entirely. It didn't really matter, the videoconferencing sucked big time. Nobody figured that the upload pipes on our high speed connections is substantially slower than the download pipes...
